In reply to: Showing after the more tagYou can either post again about the winners, getting you more coverage, and include a link to the previous post with the background information, or simply change or move the <!–more–> tag to a new position in your post.
Or you can add an UPDATED section to the post with the new information, putting it within the new excerpt area. It’s up to you. As you can see, there are a lot of choices. I vote for the first one. Make a new post and link to the old.

In reply to: Order of plugin appearance on post.phpThe plugin author uses what is known as “hooks” to put information into an administration page or template file. To change the position, and with lack of familiarity with writing WordPress plugins, consider contacting the authors and asking them how to make this change. You may have to contact both authors. Or just live with it.

In reply to: How to get permalink for archive by category and authorYou don’t have to have it working with permalinks. You can use non-permalinks in any of the links within your template tags and it will work perfectly. For more information see Linking Posts, Pages, and Categories.

In reply to: Error: please type a comment.First of all, there is no WordPress v1.3. It went from WordPress 1.2 to 1.5 and then there are newer versions from there. For the newest version, click DOWNLOAD at the top of the screen.
The answer to your question is “I played around with the templates”.
More complicated is the fact that you are running WordPress in an iframe – a very bad choice. Because there is something major wrong, which could be the iframe issue, I can’t validate the code at all, so I’m not clear what is happening.
I recommend that you find a backup copy or the original theme you used before with your original
comments.phpand replace it, or do careful side by side comparisons.And consider, seriously, changing your design to get it out of the iframe. It takes longer to load and isn’t search engine friendly at all. And it borks in some browsers.

In reply to: Posting to, changing content of, modified theme?Well, the link broke to your site, which means I’m not sure if it’s the site linked in your name or something else.
Anyway, All the information you need to change information in “columns” which are known as sidebars can be found in the WordPress Codex at Customizing Your Sidebar, along with a ton of other great and helpful information.

In reply to: New Template selected — ALL javascript screwed…And here is instructions on Using Javascript in your posts and template files with WordPress. Javascript inside of posts needs special handling, and not all javascripts work. Also check to see if the source for the javascript has an update for that script.

In reply to: I need developer support.Your title of your post doesn’t help direct people who may have the answer here – so if you continue to have problems, try posting with a better title. Be REALLY specific.
I found this which might related to the issue you are having. I did find plenty of reports that say few people have had problems with WordPress on PHP 4-5 versions.
You also don’t say which version of WordPress you are running, and if it is older than the most current (see DOWNLOAD link above), then make sure you upgrade.

In reply to: HTML tags in link descriptionsCan you be more descriptive about what you want to do?
When you add a link to your post or on your template, it is already in an HTML tag.
<a href="/blah/blah.php" title="blah description">blah</a>Do you want to add a class to make a specific link look different? Or do you want to style your links to look different than what are currently on your Theme?
Be more specific and we’ll gladly give you more specific answers.

In reply to: Looking for a rating moduleWhat do you want to rate? Most popular posts, most commented posts, set up a system for users to rate your posts, or what?

In reply to: CSS/HTML Positioning and Color IssuesI recommend that you start by downloading the Firefox browser and installing the Web Developer and Edit CSS Add-ons. That will allow you to edit the
style.cssfile while viewing the site, and then you can copy that and put it in your Theme’s stylesheet file.These will also help:

In reply to: Question on PostsYou do not have to use the graphic for the background color, but just use a color. And the white border for each image is set in the CSS, too. You can set your image border to 0, which it usually is by default.
You’ve reached a point where a lot of things you want to know go beyond this forum a bit. We’re really best at helping with WordPress related problems. There are tons of websites out there that will help with CSS stuff to get you right down to the particulars you need.

In reply to: Post/Page Lists vs. Sidebar ListsOkay, calm down.
You can edit your
sidebar.phptemplate file to do whatever you want. I think the whole issue you are having is in the sidebar. So put the class references like<ul class="whatever">in the appropriate places in the sidebar and you can control whatever you want the bullets to look like in each section.These explain how to do all this:

In reply to: “Bump Article”The plugin may help, but what I’ve done is one of two things. First, set the article in draft mode, make your changes, and then publish it. It should take on the new publish date and time.
Second, edit and make whatever changes you like, and then change the date and time in the Advanced Edit Post Options below the write post text area.
